A few tips to make our zip line tour more comfortable for everyone:
These tours take a few hours. You are permitted to take a back pack (day packs) with you so you can carry a water bottle, snacks, bug spray, suntan lotion, and a camera if you wish.
Basically there are two zip tours you can choose from. They are described below:
“Vertigo” - This tour is longer and more physically and mentally challenging than the Easy Rider. This tour consists of four zip lines including the famous “Tower Zip”, a 333 foot fast zip taking you into the rock climbing tower. Many guests say this zip alone is worth the price of admission. In addition to the four zips there is a cargo net, a Charlie Chaplin bridge, a rope vine traverse, and a railroad bridge. The maximum tree platform height is approximately 40 feet and the longest zip is 333 feet. This tour can take between 1 hour l5 minutes to 2 1⁄2 hours to complete harness to un-harness depending on group size and ability. This tour is available to anyone of moderate or better physical condition. If you can do 10 sit-ups and push-ups and walk up a flight of stairs without huffing and puffing you can do this tour.
Group Rate for ten or more: $50 plus 10% gratuity for the guide.
“The Full Monty” - This tour combines the two previous tours and includes all of the above. This tour can take between 2 hours and 4 hours to complete harness to un-harness depending on group size and ability. There are also three moderate speed zip lines, a Burma bridge and a rappel. This tour has the same physical demands as “Vertigo”.
Group Rate of ten or more: $69 plus 10% gratuity for the guide.
I will be on the “Full Monty Tour” Its much longer and a better buy for the money (in my opinion.)
Here is what you have to do:
